Tea Cup Treasures

I recently came into possession of some beautiful tea cups. My son and his fiance' gifted me with some and some dishes, but I'll show those another day.

I found this lovely cup at HomeGoods, after Christmas. It was $6.99 and when I got to the check out it was 50% off!

Rachel picked this Wood and Son cup called Enoch Woods for me. It is not typical of colors I normally choose, but it is sweet.

Now to some real treasure! Limoges! We found this on our anniversary trip.

This is Limoges too! I am using it this evening to drink my tea. The Limoges are delicate and gorgeous!

This is Crown Victorian. The color is beatiful. It is a gift from two young men at our church. They were waitering at our tea and while washing up, the broke one of my cups. I assured them that they did not need to replace it, they didn't break it on purpose, but they didn't listen to me. When I look at it, I am reminded of their kindness and thoughtfulness.

Oh, what gorgeous new additions to your collection! I adore the one from HomeGoods...beauty + bargain = thrill! And then there are sweet memories of your anniversary trip...and the gift from your Rachel. And the "replacement" tea cup from the young men...priceless!

I'm intentionally choosing joy too. One of the things that gives me warm fuzzies is a pretty tea cup and saucer. I love to choose different ones to enjoy a late afternoon cup of coffee. (And pretend it's tea.) Yours are just lovely!
